In an announcement yesterday, Senator Leahy stated there is a week delay in the vote, but, Judge Sotomayor will be taking a seat on the Supreme Court in September 2009 (click here) when they reconvene. She will be seated to a very busy agenda.
Senator Graham is among those that had enough confidence in recognizing her ability to confirm her nomination.
I think it went very well and the pace at which Judge David Souter's replacement was decided by all those involved is admirable. Not to deny there were some interesting issues along the way, but, learning about political bias is necessary to be able to adequately address it, now and in the future.
I believe she will be a magnificent judge and one that will bring pride to the Supreme Court as well as balance. Well done.
